Full full full
haha. done! Amazing! I did it! Finally! What you may ask?
Well i demoted my self at my job. Its like quitting except saying that you will stick around and work less hours. I will no longer be working 80hours a week Su-Sa and work a sanity-friendly 40 hours a week, 9-5, mon-fri job.
The decision came in waves. The first wave happened in march (i think), i was reading "Eat Pray and Love" (which i have yet to finish) and she was having this amazing 2/5 life crisis. She had spent her twenties working hard and following all the right patterns of american Sucess. Took the right jobs, went ot the right schools, had a perfect college boyfriend and married him... but somehow relized she never sat down and thought it all out. Really took time for herself to figure it all out. I was inspired that this highly sucessfull wrighter could take a year out of her life to give that year a chance to put life back into her. And i mean, i havent really acomplished much and dont really need to escape anything to renew my life.... but i havent taken the time to figure stuff out, and might as well do it when i am 24. Thats right before 25. Seems like a great time for it! But what am i doing now that is so great, you may ask... Well nothing yet, but by demoting myself i am able to make more money at my job (bonus more) and will have more time to make some sort of plans. I dont know what they will be..... I have one friend who wants to leave for a month in AUgust to do a Euro trip.... i, however, do not think i will really get what i am looking for out of europe. It is just as distracting as my life here. Also, it simply sounds like a way to spend a lot of money. WHich is also not the point of my possible next journey. I have also been solicited to take a bicycle trip in December. South AMerica is the destination. This seems good for a couple reasons. I think i want to be working abroad and Brazill, for example is a great place to consider working in. Also, it wont be as costly as Europe.... Also, i think it will bring me out of my element a bit more.
So till i get to this trip, i need to do a couple things. I need to shed these American Shakles. Some permently, others temporarily. I need to rid myself of credit car debt and pay off my car (oh so close). I need to leave a wealth of cash behind to continue to pay off my student loans. and well... thats about all that exists in my world. I dont own much. But not a lot of things own me either. So it works out well.
With all this being said: I could change my mind at any moment.
This is why i quit my job. I have to make a big decision. And it is about impossible to be a Director of an office and have time to straiten my life out.
I stilll may apply for law school. I still may apply for grad school. Point is i have no officially broaden my possible paths. Most of my family has been cheerleading this decision. However, i havent told my dad... so there is that.
but yeah. Who knows.... not this guy.
